If you had to use just one word to describe Capri's Da Luigi ai Faraglioni restaurant it would have to be "unique". Unique like the eatery's water-edge location, on a rocky terrace at the feet of Capri's legendary Faraglioni; unique for its superlative food; unique for the atmosphere which, since 1936, has been attracting celebrities from every corner of the world.

Overlooking the small bay framed by the Faraglioni and the Monacone sea stacks, Da Luigi ai Faraglioni is famous for both its unbeatable location and its excellent island cuisine. As you would expect, fish and seafood dominate the menu, bursting with the exquisite flavors and aromas of the Mediterranean.

Open from dawn until dusk, Da Luigi ai Faraglioni is also a prestigious bathing establishment where both islanders and holidaymakers come to enjoy blissful hours of relaxation: soaking up the glorious Mediterranean sun and swimming in the warm, crystal clear sea. A shuttle boat service links Da Luigi with the Canzone del Mare, in Marina Piccola, allowing for a comfortable return journey to the center of Capri.

An enchanting venue for a gala dinner or a private party in the shadow of the Faraglioni rocks, on request Da Luigi ai Faraglioni also caters for exclusive evening events.

Una domenica da soli senza figli in un luogo che di meglio non c’è. Tutto organizzato nei minimi dettagli, una barca ci aspettava al porto, giro per vedere la grotta azzurra, poi vista fantastica dei Faraglioni per giungere infine in questo fantastico scorcio.Posto da sogno, piatti spettacolari e titolare unica . D’obbligo ritornarci . Consigliatissimo

Stunning Setting, But Prices Have Soared

I’ve been visiting Da Luigi in Capri with my family for many years, though this was my first time back since before Covid. I was happy to see that much of the charm remains — the breathtaking location is just as unique as I remembered, and many of the same staff are still here. Unfortunately, some things have changed, most notably the prices. The basic entrance fee is now €115 per person, and surprisingly, that doesn’t even include an umbrella — that’s extra. Before, this spot was popular with Italians and locals, but now it seems mostly frequented by international visitors, likely because they’re the ones able to afford the new rates. On arrival, we were offered an upgrade to “prime” €800 front-row seats, which came with only minor perks compared to our third-row spot. You do get a voucher for food at the restaurant, but the menu is steeply priced — a simple salad is close to €30, and a cappuccino is €10, even by Capri standards. We ordered a salad to start and pasta with seafood for our main. The salad’s seasoning was disappointing, likely due to poor-quality oil and vinegar, while the pasta sauce was tasty but nothing extraordinary. To make matters worse, the pasta itself was overcooked. Service was polite both at the restaurant and on the sunbeds, though there was a noticeable push toward upselling. The sea, as always, was pristine, the water refreshingly cool, and the view absolutely spectacular. That said, the beach was surprisingly quiet for August — perhaps a sign that the quality-to-price ratio isn’t hitting the mark. While I still recommend it for the scenery and the setting, it’s hard to justify the cost when Capri offers other beautiful spots at better value.

Map

To reach the Da Luigi ai Faraglioni restaurant and bathing establishment, make your way to Belvedere Tragara, a five minute walk from the center of Capri, and from here take the little path amidst the coastal pine trees which leads down to the sea and the Faraglioni rocks.

You can make the return journey aboard Da Luigi's shuttle boat which leaves customers in the Bay of Marina Piccola, from where you can easily reach the center of town, by bus, taxi, or on foot.
